Mr. 2x Crockwell had been delivering some goods at the corner of Sixth avenue and Eighth * strects, and was talking, to a passerby for a minute. While he was thus engaged his horse started to walk away. After he had gone some distance he noticed it, and called to the horse to stop. This only startled the horse, and he rushed wildly up Sixth av- % enue, colliding at the corner of Pearl street with a telephone pole. The buggy was en- tirely ruined.

When the gate was reached the horse plunged through it, strik- ng the buggy wheel against a telephone pole in making the turn. The buggy was over- turned and Prof. Spruit fell on the ground.

Two more of the men supposed to be members of the gang of robbers who looted the Griswold bank und took part in the shooting affray in this city Monday night are now under arrest in Chicago. Monday afternoon J. W. White, who Is now in the county Jail, went to the local office of the Adams Kxpress company and left a small valise to bo sent to Mark Davis, 178 South Water street, Chicago. The police learned of it after the shooting, and sent a telegram vesterday morning to Inspector Shea asking that the valise be recovered and whoever might be found with it arrested. In the afternoon a telegram was recelved at police headquarters from Shea announcing that Davis, “an old time crook,” as he called him, and his bartender, Thomas J. Glimar- tin, were under arrest. The valise was opened and frund o contain $699.76 worth of postage stamps, just the amount the bank officials claim to have lost. The thieves will have to answer to the United States government for their crime, for It is learned that the stolen stamps were the property of the postofiice. There Is no vault in the postoffice at Griswold, and so the stamps had been put into the bank for safe keeping. herifft W. J. Davenport of Union county was In the city yesterday, accompanied by James F. Bryan of the Creston Daily Ne They were of the opinfon that White was implicated in the robbery of a bank at Mai- vern 1 October. Tne man in question loafed about Creston for some time and be came intimate with a_woman of the town known as Maude Louks. To her one day he confided the fact that when he left Mal- vern he walked ofi money, and that was literally true, for when the bank was bur- glarized dynamite was used, which blew the front of the building oft and threw money into the street, which the robbers did not have time to pick up. About $5400 was taken. A third person heard the remark of the supposed burglar and gave a tip to Dav- enport, who arrested the fellow. DAVENPORT MADE HIM TALK. The grand jury, however, failed to indict the suspect. ~ Davenport had his picture taken and brought it up with him yesterday. When shown into the corridor quite a scene cnsued. White was lylng in_his bunk read- ing a novel by the faint light which shone through the jall bars. Davenport tried to get him to taik, but without success until he made a remark that reflected somewhat on White's ancestry on his mother side. White Jumped to his feet, and o far as appearances went would have torn Davenport limb from limb had it not been for the intervening bars. He ripped and swore with an case and fluency which would have done credit to a Texas ranger. While thus engaged he permitted a full view of his face, which showed that it was an exact duplicate of the one in the plcture. When in Creston White was found to have been known as C. F. Wright, C. F. Adams, Charles Adams, Harry Gilbert, and a num- ber of other names. He is said to be under indictment in at least four counties in the state, and Davenport says he can g:t two rewards of $50 each if the Pottawattamie authorities will only let go of him long enough. One of these crimes was the bur- glary of a store at Redding, in the extreme southern part of Ringgold county. His rela- tives live at Binghampton, N. Y. The three men were together at the Ogden hotel -in this city last Saturday and Sunda; registering as J. Stanley, W. S. Barnes an J. B. White. They left Sunday afternoon after paying their bills. There seemg to be a fourth member of the gang who has not cut much of a figure. It is asserted that when Deputy Sheriffs O'Brien and Hooker left Kiel's hotel with the trio in tow a fourth followed them, unnoticed by th2 off- cers. He had previously been picked up by the officers; but had bzen released by them after some inquiries had been made, their beliet being that he was not concerned in the®robbery, in spite of the fact that he was In the room when Hooker and O'Brien made thelr descent upon it. After Riley had fired his first bullet at O'Brien and O'Brien had returned the fire this man stood by Riley’s side and said to him in a low tone, “Are you furt?” Finding that Riley sesmed to be In very good order, he disappeared, and has not been seen since. RILEY HIRED A MARSHAL'S TEAM. Sheriff Job Card of Cass county was in the city yesterday and safd that the day the bank “at Griswold was broken into a man answering the description of Riley to a dot called at the livery stable kept by Deputy United States Marzhal W. W. Eller at Af- lantic_and engaged a team. He represented that he was a Rock Island official, and wanted to subpoena some lady witnesses in alaw suit. He got the team as agreed, drove to Griswold In the évening and back again, One of his partners bought three railroad tickets from Atlantic to Council Bluffs the following morning. Card describes the man who engaged the team as small, with dark lair, a black ecar between the eyes, and about three or four weeks' growth of beard on his face. Sherift Hazen was in the east end of the county on business Monday evening, and did not hear of the shooting until yesterday morning at 7 o'clock. He at once started for home. He called on Nick O'Brien and found him feeling somewhat better than he had been during the night. Considerable talk had been occasioned by the seeming neglect .of O'Brien and Hooker to search thelr men before leaving the hotel. Both had been in the business ten years, or such a matter, and might he reasonably expected to know all the ins and outs of the capture of desperate criminals such as these were supposed to be. To the sherlf O'Brien sald that when he entercd the men's room at the Kiel he drew his revolver and they all threw up their hands as soon as he told them to, One of the fellows was in bed. O'Brien pro- cceded to search under the pillows on the bed and in their pockets for weapons, but found none, He said that he never was In a case where he felt greater confidence in his own safety than when he was walking along Fifth avenue with the three suspects in tow. His first shot, ho sald, was fired at Riley after Riley had jumped behind the tree and shot at him, and he Is positivs that it took effect, for he saw Riley wince, His sccond shot Wwau fired at Emith and struck home. Reld, a traveling man for a lower Main street implement firm, was passing the cor- ner of Fifth avenue and Sixth street Monday evening just after the shooting took place, and met Riley and White, the two despera- does, walking along in a sedate fashion. He asked one of them what was the matter, and the reply was that some one had bzen shot. “Well,” sald Reld, “I guess I'll go along with you,” thinking that the two fellows were on the track of the men who did the shootin; “I think yoy'd better not,” remarked one of the men, holding a large revolver in the alr in such position that Reid could look in and see several bullets reclining at the bottom of the barrels. It took him less than a tenth part of a second to come around to hix mew friend’s way of thinking, and he started off on a lively lope in the direc- tion of Neola, FOLLOWED RILEY'S FOOTPRINTS. Officers Templeton and Easdale went out early yesterday morning to look for tracks of Riley. By an occasional footprint they tracked bim along the Indian creek ditch al- most to the river, about five miles southwest of the city. The fugitive evidently found be could not get across the river that way, and retraced his steps to the eastward along the side of the Union Pacific dump, to the place where the road passes beneath it. There all traces were lost. Many of the footprints seemed to have been made carefully, as a man naturally would who was feeling his way along over a strange road in pitchy darkness. losephine Hansen, Pottawattamie county.. 21 , Mayls sells drugs, paint and glass cheap. Deputy Sheriff O'Brien says that Riley's correct name Is Charles Connor, and that bhe lives ln Omaba. As soon as Sheriff Hazen returned home he offered a reward of | 4300 for Riley's apprehension. O'BRIEN'S CONDITION CRITICAL. Nick O'Brien is still In a very critical con- dition. Dr. Macrae, who is attending him, stated last evening that inflammation had not yet set fn, and he thought he would re- cover, although nothing certain could be told for three or four days. Pneumonia and peri- tonitls are feared as the result of the injur; and cither one would certainly prove fat These diseases will probably not show them- selves for several days, so that no just opin- fon of his condition can be formed. Dr. Macrae does not think any of the vital or- gans are injured. The neighbors and friends of the Injured man cause a good many of the wild rumors that are floating around by their undue anxiety for his welfare, but at the same (ime it cannot be denfed that there is a good deal of foundation for their anxiety. During the day he was tolerably free from the vomiting spells that took him Monday night, but last evening they returned again, and each spell weakens him perceptibly. - LLER-DRAKE For its beautiful simplicity will the wed- ding of Mr. Albert F. Miller of Franklin, P and Miss Loule Gertrude Drake, which was solemnized yesterday at the family residence on Twenty-ninth avenue, be most generally recalled by the circles of soclety present at the ceremony, While delightfully unpreten- tlous, there was nothing lacking to a perfeet ensemble, and no prettier home wedding has been celcbrated during the pre-Lenten season than the one of Shrove Tuesday, an exceed- ingly happy day, by the way, upon which to plight one's troth. The lower rooms were daintily decorated with smilax and la France roses, with here and there a palm contributing its green to the perfect harmony of color. The mantels held handsome vases filled with roses, while the south parlor, which was turned Into a temporary sanctuary, was a picture of quiet color. The curtains on the south were utilized effectively as a background, a_filmy raredos, with smilax festooned gracefully up and down the lace, with a rosebud occa- sionally attached to the smilax and pink bows of satin ribbon in keeping with the pre- vailing tone. As the minute hand neared its perpendicu- lar and almost upon the stroke of 4, Miss Susie Colpetzer and Miss Bessie Norton sus- pended the ribbons from the stairway to the improvised altar, and closely following the ribbon girls came the wedding party in this wise: James Ritchey and Harry Wilkins first, then Mr. Megeath and Miss Adelalde Miller of Franklin, Pa., a cousin of the groom and the senfor bridesmaid. Mr. Will Clark and Miss McBane of Fort Dodge, la., came next, then Rev. T. J. Mackay, the officiating priest. Then two pretty little flower girls, Josephine Drake and Ada Kirkendall, carrying baskets of flowers. Miss Alice Drake, the maid of honor and the bride’s sister, walked alone, and lastly the bride, escorted by her father, Mr. L. J Drake. Just as the procession reached th upper part cf the room, the groom, Mr. Al- bert F. Miller, and his best man, Mr. Charles J. S. Miller, entered from a_side door and took position with the rest. During the cere- mony which followed the orchestra, sta- tioned in the breakfast room, played “Tender and True” very sweetly, a fitting accompani- ment to the words of the Episcopal prayer book as read by Rev. Mr. Mackay. The bride, who is one of Omaha’s lovable voung women, looked every inch an ideal bride, gowned, as she was, in white satin, entraine, the waist ornamented with chiffon and_broad pearl trimming. Her veil was of chiffon, caught high up on the head by a diamond pendant, and she carried a bouquet of her favorite flowers, lilies of the valley and violets, made Into eight parts, which she, on leaving, flung from the stair- way to her maids In waiting and girl friends clustered below, Miss Brownie Baum being fortunate to secure the ring attached to one of the parts, while Miss Amy Barker secured the coin and Miss Alice Drake the thimble. The bridesmaids, Miss Miller and Miss Mc- Bane, wore gowns exactly alike, pink satin, trimmed with pearls and chiffon, and they carried white roses. Miss Alice Drake, the maid of honor and a very pretty girl, wore a becoming costume of white satin, with balloon sleves, the waist trimmed with chiffon and pearls. She also carried white roses. Miss Colpetzer and Miss Norton_were in white mulle, very simply but very.effectively made, while the little flower glrls were in pink. The groom's presents were exceedingly handsome, to the bride giving a magnificent turquoise 'ring, set with diamonds; to the maid of honor he gave a stick pin of Roman gold, made in the shape of a wreath and set with pearls; to Miss McBane and Miss Miller the same presents were given as to the maid of honor; to the ribbon girls he gave gold daisies, eet with pearls; to his best man a pin of oak leaves, set with pearls, the same to Mr. Clark and Mr. Wilkins, while to Mr. Richtey he presented a pin in tho form of a_new moon, fet with pearls, Tollowing the ceremony the bride and groom held a levee for an hour or more, and then, after refreshments, quietly left the room, later leaving on their wedding tour cver the Milwaukee, which Includes visits to Chicago, New York and Florida, to be homs about April 9 at Franklin, Pa, Mr. and Mrs. Drake received the guests, who were representative in character, In the north parlor, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller, uncie and aunt of the groom, of. Frankl'n, Pa., Mrs, Richard’ C. Moore, Mrs. F, P. Kirkendall, Mrs. Christian Hartman and Mrs, D, H. Geodrich. Mra, Drake was beautifully gowned in black, while Mrs. Miller, a wonderfully at- tractive woman, was regal in black velvet and white- lace. Mr. Charles Miller, the uncle of the groom, holds an important position with the Stan- dard Oil company at Franklin, Pa., and is at the head of the Miller & S'bley stock farm. Very rarely dces it occur that a young woman commences married life with so many exquisite presents as will Mrs, Miller when she seto up her own establishment in Frank- lin. They fill<d an upstairs room, and not only included magnificent silver and go'd serv- ices, as well ae lovely cut glass, but’ rare bric-a-brac, while the linen chest will contaln a handsome array of na- pery, pretty doylies, made by her girl friends, souvenirs of a happy day. Beside Mr. and Mrs, Charles Miller, there were present at the ceremony from Franklin, Pa,, Mise Metta Miller, LeRoy S. Miller, J. French Miller and Clarence A, Miller, cousins of the groom.

This body has no power to compel me to testify. What 1 know con- cerns others and may implicate others. 1 will tell what I know about this business.” After being sworn he testified that he talked with the mayor before the races of 1894 several times. Only one conversation im- pressed itselt upon his mind. The mayor, one afternoon In his office, after calling In Chiet of Police Johnson, talked about central- izing the gambling business. “I told Johnson I thought he was mistaken about King's place on Fourth street. The mayor said he, Johnson, was responsible for all that was done in raiding this place. John- son turned to Hillls and sald: “‘Didn’t you give us orders to pull all the gambling houses In the city except one?’ “The mayor did not answer, and sald to me: ‘Mr. Haskins, we have talked It over and I have decided it best to confine the gambling in one place in the city.’ “I told him that it he was going to con- trol by centralizing I wanted to know it, and If he was going to wipe it all out I wanted to know that in justice to my clients. His first idea was to put the gambling in charge of one person. I told him the report was that one house was running wide open, and asked him if this was to be the place. His idea was that Rinehart should have control of the business. I told him my clients would not go in with Rinehart; that they did not consider him thelr style of man. The mayor said in substance: ““If your men want to engage In gambling you had better have them go and arrange with Rinehart.’ This conversation was_had on the day following the raiding of King's place. The mayor several times made the statement that my clients had ‘better go and arrange with Rinehart.’ " Bob King, Dick Williams and ex-Chief Johnson were called, but brought out noth- ing new. Alderman McElderry was asked if prior to the offering of the pool-selling resolution he had talked with the mayor about the passage of such a resolution. McElderry sald he had such a conversation, and that Hillis had said he desired such a resolution to pass. About 12 or 1 o'clock of the same day McElderry stated that he met Hillls on Fifth street and asked him if cverything was all right, and the mayor replied that it was. This conversation tock place the same day that Davies called at the mayor's office. City Solicitor Macomber and_ Assistant So- lictor Chamberlain testified In respect to conferences had with the mayor in regard to pool-selling and gambling, in which they advised him that district or justices’ courts were the proper tribunal o’ suppress these evils. Captain Sims of the present force claims that the subject of concentrating gambling had been frequently talkel of ‘by himself, Johnson and the mayor, but’at ‘o time was any place designated where it should be con- flned. The mayor gave the police force or- ders to suppress gambling, ‘but Made no ex- ception of any place. An adjournment was then taken till Fri- day morning. [ COURT W RY OF, DELAYS, Richmond Asks for Another. Continuance in the Contempt Casg, DES MOINES, Feb.: 26~=(Special Tele- gram.)—The case of Richmond|“the wrecker of the Unfon Building and"Loan association, was called before Judge Stevenson this morn- ing. «Richmond was summoned to appear and show cause why he should not be com- mitted for contempt in refusing to produce the books of the assoclation, as ordered by the court some time ago. Attorney Reade explained to the court that it would be im- possiblo for him to attend to the matter to- day, as he was engaged in the trial of a case before Judge Conrad, and asked that the casc be postponed until mext Friday. The court replied that the case of Richmond had been dragging along for months and he was getting sick of it and wanted it settled one way or another, and in order to facilitate matters he would have Juige Conrad wait until Mr. Reade could attend to the case of Richmond. It was then discovered that the defendant was not present, and his ottorney explained this by stating that he. had,informed Rich- mond that it would be impossible to proceed today and his appearance would not be neces- sary. Judge Stevenson ordered the bailift to find Richmond and bring him into court. The balliff returned in half an- hour and re- ported that he was unable to find Richmond. Turning to counsel the court said: “I ac- cept the statement, but Richmond was in- formed to be present. The case {5 now post- poned tll 2 o'clock, and it Mr. Richmond is not present the sheriff will bring him in.” At the opening of court this afternoon At- torney Reade was engaged in Judge Conrad's court, and it was finally agreed to postpone the case until next Friday.
